Thank you for the reply, but could you elaborate on what you mean by 
this? I use <tag> in when building a library to change the name of the 
library according to the variant (debug or release).

When you say "child project cannot use <tag>", does this mean that if I 
am building a library, where I use <tag> to rename it, then I cannot use 
<tag> to rename a dependent library? (That does not seem right to me. I 
am under the impression that I have been able to do that.)

And what does "explicitly override" mean?
